Saturday, July 24, 2004 Human Beans An acquaintance remarked: "It's so different. Go to a Wal-Mart and everyone is so...they're like a different species!" Admittedly, I don't pay so much attention to how other people differ from each other. My view is a bit more egocentric--I feel like a fish out of water pretty much everywhere, from the local Wal-Mart to the more "trendy" stores. If the customers going to Wal-Mart are different than the ones going to the Co-op (the local snobby grocery store), it is only by class. They are equally as obnoxious whether they argue with the cashier over discounted coffee or the gourmet brand from Bolivia. Links: How Not to Talk. Good advice on how not to be a troll in a conversation. Parking meter fairy. (via Monkeyfilter) Man, I wish we had one here. You would think the town would get enough money from the tourists and upscale residents, but no. Sometimes I get the impression that the meter maids around here hover over cars with tickets in hand.
